I'm trying to copy a large amount of files from one location to another. This is a daily scheduled task, and I don't want to have to overwrite all the files every time (I'm only interested in the new ones).

Ideally, I want cfdirectory action="copy" recurse="true" nameconflict="skip", but that doesn't seem to be an option, even though it appeared to be in the discussion here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RAILO-2193

Am I missing something? The docs seems a bit sparse on this particular topic.

Thanks,

Tom.

Not sure about the cfdirectory question, but if the only requirement is to copy files from one location to another, why use CF and a scheduled task? Tools like rsync make this easy and fail proof.

Hope it helps.

With Jean on this one, right tool for right job and I don't think Lucee (or CFML in general) is the right tool.

Kind regards,

Andrew

I'd normally agree - but this is an s3 sync within an AMI that I cannot spec. My only option is a cfml script as that's all I know will be running on the server...

Tom,

Which part doesn't work?  The "skip"?  Do you get an error or it just goes to copy the directory?

Just says "skip" is not a valid attribute. Attributes are "overwrite (merge), error"

What version are you running?  Can you please copy and paste the exact message that you see?

This should be implemented in Lucee 4.5

doco says skip is for 'create'
    http://docs.lucee.org/reference/tags/directory.html

nameconflict
(string, optional)

When used with action="copy" the possible values are: [Overwrite]|Error. When used with action="create" the possible values are: [Error]|Skip. Ignored for all other actions.
